So wait a second here, DOJ blamed Cunningham for the false information in the letter to Congress he was forced to retract; but he is still a U.S. Attorney? Wow, that Eric Holder is a real softy. First, he doesn't fire Lanny Breuer for not telling him about previous gunwalking Breuer knew about and not even thinking to mention it despite several Congressional hearings on the matter. Now he says that Patrick Cunningham lying to him is the only reason he lied to Congress; but Patrick still has a job as well.

So, AG Holder's defense is essentially - all of my underlings are incompetent and/or dishonest; and all of them still work for me.
